The Chevrolet Express Ignition Lock Cylinder secures the van from theft while giving the driver simple key control over starting, steering, and component power. Ever since government mandates of 1970, the Ignition Lock Cylinder has been located on the steering column. This cylinder accepts a cut metal key and when turned to ACC, ON, or START, routes battery voltage through the connected switch to the components, fuel injection system, and starter motor. When in the LOCK position, it prevents the current, locks the steering shaft, and keeps the gear selector in Park to avoid roll away and wheel turning. The initial models solely depended on the physical tumblers from the Ignition Lock Cylinder, so thieves would yank them out and with a screwdriver twist the switch. In the 1980s, another form appeared which couples the Ignition Lock Cylinder with a coded electronic key such that even if the mechanical wafers are bypassed, the van computer will withhold spark and fuel. Wear can still make the key hard to twist or cause momentary stalls on bumpy roads, warning owners that the Chevrolet workhorse may need a fresh cylinder before complete failure strands the Express. A worn Ignition Lock Cylinder can jam, stopping a Chevrolet Express unexpectedly.
